 ## Test It Out
 
 You'll need a Kubernetes cluster to run against. You can use
-[KIND](https://sigs.k8s.io/kind) to get a local cluster for testing, or
+[KinD][kind] to get a local cluster for testing, or
 run against a remote cluster.

+## Using Plugins
+
+Kubebuilder design is based on [Plugins][plugins] and you can use
+[available plugins][available-plugins] to add optional features to your project.
+
+### Creating an API and Controller with code to manage an image
+
+For example, you can scaffold an API and controller that
+manages container images by using the [deploy-image plugin][deploy-image-v1-alpha]:
+
+```bash
+kubebuilder create api --group webapp --version v1alpha1 --kind Busybox --image=busybox:1.36.1 --plugins="deploy-image/v1-alpha"
+```
+
+This command generates:
+
+- The API definition in `api/v1alpha1/busybox_types.go`.
+- The controller logic in `internal/controllers/busybox_controller.go`.
+- A test scaffold in `internal/controllers/busybox_controller_test.go`, which uses [EnvTest][envtest] for integration-style testing.
+
+<aside class="note">
+<h1> References and Examples </h1>
+
+You can use the code of [DeployImage Plugin][deploy-image-v1-alpha] as a reference to create your project.

+
+### Keeping your project up to date with ecosystem changes
+
+Kubebuilder provides the [AutoUpdate Plugin][autoupdate-v1-alpha]
+to help keep your project aligned with the latest ecosystem changes.
+When a new release is available, the plugin opens an **Issue** with a
+Pull Request compare link. You can then review the updates and, if helpful,
+use [GitHub AI models][ai-gh-models] to understand what changes are needed to keep your project current.
+
+```bash
+kubebuilder edit --plugins="autoupdate/v1-alpha"
+```
+
+This command scaffolds a GitHub workflow file at `.github/workflows/autoupdate.yml`.
